The presentation will begin with an overview of the prevailing trends in the venture capital market. The spotlight will then shift to the evolution of climate tech investing, drawing a clear contrast between the first wave (Climate Tech 1.0) and the current, more investable market dynamics (Climate Tech 2.0).
